Harnessing Prefabrication: How to Navigate the Design and Construction Process
By WoodWorks
Harnessing Prefabrication: How to Navigate the Design and Construction Process
In partnership with Kalesnikoff
Date: April 15th, 2025
Time: 11 am Pacific Time
Duration: 1 hour
Join us for an in-depth discussion on the evolving landscape of modular and prefabricated construction. This session will explore how to evaluate and integrate different levels of prefabrication based on project goals, site conditions, and logistical constraints. Key topics include site planning, design coordination, transportation logistics, and navigating regulatory requirements.
We'll also delve into technical considerations—comparing mass timber and drywall fire ratings, evaluating STC performance, and planning for MEP sub-module integration. The session will conclude with strategies for structural design of modular systems and insights on avoiding common post-construction pitfalls.
Grounded in lessons learned from a completed multi-family volumetric modular CLT project, this presentation offers practical tools for design professionals, engineers, and developers looking to optimize prefabrication in their projects.
Learning Outcomes:
• Understand key decision-making criteria for selecting appropriate prefabrication strategies.
• Apply a framework for integrating prefabrication into project planning and delivery.
• Recognize technical challenges and solutions in modular design, including fire ratings, acoustics, and MEP coordination.
• Identify best practices for optimizing structural integration and avoiding post-construction issues.
